Lakeland Electric is a municipal utility and government department of the city of Lakeland, Florida.[1]
[2]
History
Lakeland was the third city in the state of Florida to have electric lighting powered in 1891 by The Lakeland Light and Power Company after Jacksonville and Tampa. Over a decade later, in 1904, citizens purchased the private light power plant for $7,500, establishing the locally-owned, municipal utility known today as Lakeland Electric.[3][4][5]
Power plants
Lakeland Electric powers the city of Lakeland by two power plants: C.D. McIntosh Power Plant, a coal-natural gas combined cycle plant slated to phase out in 2024, and Larsen Memorial. [6] The last coal unit at C.D. McIntosh Power Plant is slated to phase out in 2024, as presented by the Lakeland Electric staff in 2019.[7][8]
